This Juvenile Bald Eagle was enjoying a fresh fish meal on this vacant Osprey platform overlooking the salt marsh.
I took a “double take” when we drove by this “nesting” platform and saw such a large bird on top. We turned the car around, got the cameras out and clicked away. It was pretty far out in the middle of the salt marsh, so it was hard to get a great photo.
I haven’t seen many Bald Eagles on the Cape and Phil had never seen one so this was a big treat!
” After a short walk, I could see a male eagle sitting proudly on top of a pitch pine; below was his mate, sitting even more proudly on a nest full of eggs. The Outer Cape has its first very bald eagle nest. Wahoo!”
